ok...i'm about to buy this set of Tein HA, but i'm not sure if it will work with my 1991 DX hatch...anyone know what kind of LCA i should use with this setup? will an ITR LCA fit an EF chassis? how about the pillow mount for the fronts? will that fit fine? i'm not even sure what application these Teins will work on...help please...TIA...

 

I believe ITR rear LCA's bolt right up....I'm using 88 Civic REar LCA's fer my JDM Tanabe struts....either way theyre box type LCA's and accept JDM type shox.

 

yep, either ITR or '88 LCA's is what you need.

 

all of the new Tein's come made for usdm civics now.
so when you order them, they will be made to fit your current LCA's.
I just bought and installed a set of Flex Type and I brought this question up when I was buying them at my local shop.
They called Tein for me and verified that yes indeed, now, the Tein's ordered here in the U.S. will fit usdm LCA's.
So you might want to verify before you spend the money.

 

I received an 88 HA Kit, I have an 89 CRX, so I had to change to 88 LCA. I believe 89-91 LCA's are the same though. Check what year kit you are getting. My pillowballs on the HA kit fit fine. You'll love this kit for the track. Every damping position I can feel so you can tune it right.
Peep my thread. Sorry for the big pics

He asksed about the HA's with HA's you need the ITR/'88 LCA's with SS and Flex you dont.

 

The Teins look like you can't really slam them

 

Teins are not ment for that. if you want the slammed look, get some GC or Junk2's

 

what hieght adjustment on the teins, i like to be low on my ef and have a nice ride!

 

what would happen if you did'nt put the tensior spring or what ever those baby springs are in

 

Those are helper spings. They just help for a smoother ride. You dont have to use them if you dont want to.

 

so the ha's you have to change the lca'sthey wont fit on a 90 crx si without changing anything? that sux if its true whats the best kit they make i thought it was the ha but if there is a better one or even one thats good that i dont have to change anything for that would be better for me. any idea's?

 

I am running RA's with ITR RLCA's on my 89 crx

 

RA's are the bomb

 

RA's too rough for street? or is it track and streetable?

 

dont forget, you have to change out your front forks with 92-2000 civic ones.

 

who told you that, because its wrong. you only have to do that if your running EK9 or EG suspention on your EF.

 

uhm, i thought he said he was gonna use HA's for an eg... no one told me anything.. i had to switched my forks out when i put a set of ha's from an eg into my 91, i thought he was doing the same thing.

well i just got my Tein setup...the HA's, i just need to find a chance to install them. ill let u guys know how they are.

 

Sorry for jumping on you. I didnt mean for it to come out that way. What I was trying to say if he was getting HA's for the EF8/EF9 then he wont need the front forks. Just the rear LCA's. But if he is getting it from and EG chassis then yes your correct you will need the front forks from that also.
